Changes in VA Urban Deer Season

As opening day for Deer Season in VA, there is an important to note is that during the early urban antlerless season which opens Saturday September 7, firearms will be allowed.

Based on the regulations on blaze orange, since firearms will be used during the early season, all hunters, including archery hunters, are required to wear blaze orange during the early urban season and again when regular firearms season opens through the end of the late antlerless season in March.

The only exception is in Fairfax County where blaze orange is not required.

Another important change is the modification of the earn a buck regulations. Now you are required to harvest 2 does prior to harvesting your second buck as well as a third doe prior to harvesting your third buck.

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the game regulations and recent changes so you remain in compliance with them at all times!

Should you have questions about the regulations or changes, call the regional headquarters of VDGIF in Fredericksburg or review their website http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting/.
